PLN week 1-1

I recently read a post Another Mind Blowing conversation on 2cent worth by Dave. It was about space and the possibility of life on other planets.The post Another Mind Blowing conversation was an article about the possibility of other life outside of our solar system and how we know of other life.



When I read Another Mind Blowing conversation, it was kind of mind blowing that there might be other life outside our solar system. One thing I got out of this post was the reality of life and how many different things could happen, no matter how crazy or unexpected it is. Another thing I got out of Dave's post was that our world is so advance and is advancing more and more everyday at a very fast pace.

To me I think it's kind of cool knowing that there might be other life out there. It would be funny if they were doing the same thing we are, tring to figure out who we are and if we exist. I could really relate to the face that life is unexpected and the change of it. My life that past couple of years have been a perfect example of what I got out of the Dave's post. I have moved, meet people lost people and definatly had to learn to adapt to it. Like if we found out there was other kinds of life, people would have to face the fact that there is other, just like I had to live with and except the fact that sometimes people have to go to a better place. It may not be as tragic, but it is something that you have to accept.

The world around us I think is use to this kind of situation. I think that because of where we are compared to where we were a decade ago. We have so many things now that we didn't even know would exist. It seems when something new comes everyone see it coming compared to when we first got a colored tv. Compare when we first found that to when we found out that we could get a bigger, clearer version. It was like when we first got colored we were all excited and amazed and couldn't get enough of it, when we found out we could see it as if we were there we just kind of just put it off and really didn't advertise or talk about it. Just the fact that everyday it seems as if there is something new and more advance that what was new yesterday. The fact that everyday in our classroom we use laptops instead of paper, notebook and pencil is an example of how our world is forever changing, advancing, more and more.

When I read in the post that in giving time and money scientist could make a tool to find for sure if there was life it kind of reminded me of this one story that I read last year. It was about out government in the next couple of decades. They had this device that kind of in a way controled everyone and made sure that everyone lived the way that the government wanted them too. I really don't know why I though of that then, but I think it is because the story took place in the future and it reminded me of where we might possibly when we make this tool to find out if there is other life.
